Obviously there is some motivation for decorating a store front window for Valentine's Day. Do you want to attract patrons to your store to purchase Valentine's chocolates or greeting cards? Would you like to fashion a celebratory sentiment in the store?
If the goal is to attract consumers to specific items for sale, these should be used in the store display. For instance, if Valentine's Day gifts such as red teddy bears and boxes of candy are for sale, display these. You might use a few tables draped with red tablecloths and present these items among heart shaped confetti. A store that specializes in greeting cards might create a giant Valentine's themed greeting card to set in the window space. -
People associate certain images and colors with Valentine's Day. Pinks and reds often predominate décor. Additionally, cupids, hearts and any icons of love make great Valentine's decorations. Any combination of cutout hearts, red balloons and pink streamers can create a Valentine's Day feel. To complete the display, hang a banner that says "Happy Valentine's Day" or "Be My Valentine" in the window.
Consider draping tables with silk or satin covers in red or pink. Add candles, dishes of candy hearts, and fresh flowers to portray a slightly more romantic window display. You will also want to hang red silk draperies or red balloons to fill the higher window space.
Another option is to decorate with a theme. For instance, a toy store might choose a teddy bear theme. Red and pink teddy bears could be piled on a giant hammock with heart shaped candy boxes nestled between. Teddy bears could also be hung from the ceiling by fish line. - Personalizing the Valentine's Day décor in the storefront window is a great way to attract customers and entertain passers-by. For example, a bank might purchase or make giant checks in pink and red, which are written to "My Valentine" and payable in kisses. The checks could hang in the front windows with a backdrop of red and pink balloons and streamers.
